Musical Art At Full Speed

 
In case you missed it, check out this Trippy Ultra Creative new music video from OK GO.

OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside of LA.

A Chevy Sonic car was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car.

The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. 
Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they'd play the right note no matter where they were struck.
